She belonged to a family she trusted. But when they moved away, they left her behind to fend for herself. Overnight, the only life she had ever known disappeared. Confused and heartbroken, Gordoloba stayed near her old home, faithfully waiting for the people she loved to return. They never came back.

Whether she's joining you for a leisurely walk, relaxing beside you while you read a book, or happily lying at your feet after a long day, Gordoloba is happiest when she's with the people she loves. She is not aggressive and has a wonderfully gentle temperament that makes her an excellent companion for families, couples, or anyone looking for a loyal best friend. As a Border Collie Mix, Gordoloba combines the intelligence and devotion Border Collies are known for with the balanced temperament often found in mixed breeds. At eight years old, she has outgrown the high-energy puppy stage but still enjoys daily walks, exploring new places, and spending quality time with her family. She would thrive with someone who wants a loving companion to share life's simple moments. Gordoloba would thrive in a home that offers: Daily walks and light to moderate exercise Plenty of affection and companionship Positive reinforcement and gentle guidance A comfortable bed and a peaceful home A consistent daily routine Patience while she adjusts to her new family A lifetime of love, security, and commitment After everything she's been through, Gordoloba isn't looking for anything extravagant. She simply wants a family who will love her forever and keep the promise that she'll never be left behind again.

Gordoloba is ready to repay that kindness with years of unconditional love. Owner Responsibilities & Veterinary Care Adopting Gordoloba is a lifelong commitment, and she deserves a family dedicated to providing excellent veterinary care, companionship, and a safe, loving home. As part of responsible pet ownership, Gordoloba will need: Annual veterinary wellness examinations Routine vaccinations as recommended by your veterinarian Monthly flea, tick, and heartworm prevention A balanced, nutritious diet to maintain a healthy weight Daily exercise appropriate for her age and activity level Continued mental enrichment and companionship A safe indoor home where she is treated as a cherished member of the family We recommend scheduling a wellness examination with your veterinarian shortly after adoption to establish care and help ensure Gordoloba continues to thrive for years to come.

Meet Cassidy – A Loyal and Happy Lab/Collie/Shepherd Mix! DOB: 10/3/2022 | Weight: 76 pounds | Female Cassidy is a stunning Lab/Collie/Shepherd mix with a big heart and an even bigger personality. At 3 years old, she’s in the prime of her life—healthy, energetic, and full of love to give. Cassidy is known for her loyal spirit and happy demeanor. She absolutely adores her people, and with her affectionate nature, she’ll make a wonderful companion for an active and dedicated family. Breed Info: A mix of Labrador Retriever, Collie, and Shepherd, Cassidy combines intelligence, energy, and devotion. These breeds are known for their trainability and loyalty, but also for needing structure, exercise, and mental stimulation. Cassidy is a great candidate for agility work, hiking adventures, or simply being your best buddy in life. Special Notes: Cassidy is a spirited girl who loves to explore! She does have a talent for jumping fences, so she will require a home with a very secure, tall fence (or someone committed to leash walks and supervised play). She is currently enrolled in a basic training course and making wonderful progress. Continued training will be key to helping her thrive and channel her energy in positive ways. ‍‍ Owner Responsibilities: Cassidy’s new family will need to: Provide daily exercise and playtime. Continue with her training to reinforce good manners. Ensure a secure environment to keep her safe. Offer patience, structure, and plenty of love. &#226&#154&#150&#239&#184&#143 Things to Consider: Cassidy is best suited for an active household that can keep up with her energy. Landlords and property owners should be checked if you rent, as breed restrictions sometimes apply. Families should be prepared for her enthusiasm—she may not be best for homes with toddlers, but will love older children. The 3-3-3 Rule: Remember the adjustment period: 3 days to decompress. 3 weeks to learn your routine. 3 months to fully feel at home. Vet Care: Once adopted, getting Cassidy to your vet is important for a checkup and to establish ongoing care. &#226&#157&#164&#239&#184&#143 Why Cassidy Will Be a Great Addition: Cassidy isn’t just looking for a home—she’s looking for her forever partner. She has all the qualities of a best friend: loyal, protective, playful, and loving. With her happy spirit and willingness to learn, she’ll bring joy and companionship to the right home. She will thrive with someone who sees her spirited energy not as a challenge but as part of her charm. Cassidy is ready to love and be loved—could she be the one for you?

As a young puppy, she was found wandering the streets by herself with no family in sight. At an age when puppies should be playing and feeling safe, Linda was trying to figure out how to survive on her own. Thankfully, caring rescuers found her and brought her to safety before she had to spend much longer facing the world alone. Today, Linda is healthy, happy, and ready to leave her difficult beginning behind. She has blossomed into a playful, affectionate puppy who greets each day with excitement and an endless wagging tail. Linda loves spending time with people and enjoys making new canine friends.

As an Australian Kelpie / Carolina Dog Mix, Linda is expected to grow into an intelligent, loyal, and active companion. Australian Kelpies are known for their exceptional intelligence, athletic ability, and eagerness to learn, while Carolina Dogs are admired for their adaptability, awareness, and strong family bonds.

Linda is bright, eager to please, and loves interacting with people, making her an excellent candidate for positive reinforcement training. Early socialization and consistent guidance will help her grow into a confident, well-mannered adult dog.

Please remember the 3-3-3 Rule: 3 Days to decompress and begin feeling safe 3 Weeks to learn your household routine 3 Months to fully settle into family life Aura will benefit from: Positive reinforcement training House-training and consistent routines Daily exercise and supervised play Continued socialization with people and other dogs Mental stimulation through enrichment toys and games Plenty of patience, encouragement, and affection With love, guidance, and consistency, Aura will grow into a confident, loyal, and devoted family companion. Owner Responsibilities & Veterinary Care Bringing home a puppy is a lifelong commitment that includes proper veterinary care, training, exercise, and companionship. As part of responsible pet ownership, Aura will need: Completion of her puppy vaccination schedule and routine wellness examinations Spaying if it has not already been completed, following your veterinarian's recommendation Monthly flea, tick, heartworm, and parasite prevention A nutritious diet that supports healthy growth and development Daily physical exercise and mental enrichment Continued obedience training and socialization A safe, loving indoor home where she is treated as a cherished member of the family Because Aura is still growing, strenuous repetitive exercise and excessive jumping should be limited until her joints have fully developed. We also recommend scheduling a wellness visit with your veterinarian shortly after adoption to establish care and ensure she continues to thrive.
